Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 147

“Who gave you the guts to take such risks with your life, brat? Do you know what the consequences would've been if Artemis hadn't taken that stab for you?”

Zayron gritted his teeth and made nary a sound. Although a sharp pain was spreading across his bottom, he really didn't dare utter a single word of complaint.

“Speak up! Do you know what the consequences would've been?” Bailey roared, her voice raising several decibels.

Grimacing and on the verge of tears, Zayron turned to look at his mother. “If he hadn't taken that knife for me, it would've pierced my heart, and I would've died on the spot.”

After saying that, he distinctly sensed Bailey's body trembling violently. At the same time, her face drained of all color. He hastily flipped over and leaped to his feet before hugging her around the waist.

“I promise to never do it again. If there's a second time, you can break my leg. Bay, don't torment yourself anymore, okay? I was a brat, ignorant of the gravity of things, and risked my life. I deserve a beating for causing you to suffer a near-breakdown! I ought to be taught a lesson!”

As he spoke, he smacked himself across the face hard several times.

Bailey hurriedly reached out and stopped him from doing so. Hugging him, she slumped onto the couch.

In truth, she knew her son's intentions all too well.

If it weren't because he wanted me to pick up a scalpel again and repay the debt of gratitude I owe to Old Mr. Chivers so that I wouldn't have any regrets, he wouldn't have conspired with an outsider to force my hand.

“Remember one thing, Zayron. No one and nothing in this world is more important than you and Susan. Indeed, I want to repay the debt of gratitude I owe, but never at the risk of my children's safety. Do you understand me?”

Nestled in her arms, Zayron nodded fervently. “Yes, yes! I'll never do it again!”

Verily, he didn't dare do it again. He and Susan were her greatest weakness, so risking his life was tantamount to stabbing her in the heart. Therefore, he would never dare do such a thing anymore.

As Bailey held her son, her heart finally settled back into her chest.

It was because I was too worried that my emotions got the better of me, giving them an opportunity to slip through the cracks. Casting my mind back on it now, there were actually plenty of flaws. If I'd been calmer, I wouldn't have fallen for it.

Leaving his mother's embrace, Zayron flashed her a smile and said, “I'll go and cook something for you, Bailey. Wait for me, all right? You should eat something before you sleep.”
